This is a jar of jam! Super fun with big bright fruit, even after 6 years from vintage date! Great with pizza or just a Riedel XL glass. Happy Cali Zin!

Jul 29th, 2017I get a raisinated quality to this zin reminiscent of certain Italian varietals I've had, but any and all notes on the palate I get is blown away by the alcohol in it. The bottle says 15.6% but I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 16%.
Perhaps I need it with food. On its own it's too hot to enjoy.

This is a jam bomb. Dark blueberries, clove, milder tannins. Pairs very well with spicy food.

Strong fruit aromas, dark but translucent purple color, intense flavors of plum and strawberries, very light but well balanced tannins and chewy finish with significant residual sugars.

Feb 15th, 2021The strong fruity nose is noticeable at the first pop of the cork and fully develops in the glass. The deep opaque purple hints at what is to come. The jammy taste of strawberries and plums is complemented by a perfectly sweet finish. An early Christmas gift

Dec 24th, 2020Very FAT wine. Fruit forward with significant residual sugars. Very smooth despite 15.6% ABV. Love it
